The Gecko Hawaii Artist Series Presents:
Gecko X Steve Nazar #2: "The Gecko Tiki Space Bar!"
Printed on a Boardwalk Blue Pigment Dyed T-Shirt
 
This 2nd Edition Re-Issue is printed on our 100% Cotton "Boardwalk Blue Pigment Dyed Tee." Pigment dyes are bright, or bold -- and they become more "vintage" and "washed out" with each wear -- to purposely give it a "lived in", retro feel.
 
From the LEGENDARY mind of artist & cartoonist Steve Nazar -- the guy who literally re-invented "graphic tees" in the 1980's when he brought to life the iconic "Thrilla Gorilla" and "Da' Boys" characters for Town & Country (T&C) Surf -- comes the re-issue of the second "episode" in the Steve Nazar X Gecko Hawaii collaboration!
 

Nazar sadly passed away after completing 5 of 6 tees in Series 1, but we are stoked to have spent the time we did collaborating with him on these -- and bringing a brand-new, motley crew of wild party animals to life that instantly generate that "nostalgic, 1980's neon, throwback skate/surf" feeling that many of you that you've been longing for since the end of the 80's.  It's a whole a new gang of neon icons for a whole new generation!

T-SHIRT FEATURES:

  • 2nd edition printing!
  • 100% Cotton
  • Uses Retro, Neon Green 1X Textured Puff Ink!
  • New "Space Tiki" Front Pocket Logo!
  • Back Graphic & Front Pocket Logo uses Glow In The Dark Green and Pink Puff Ink!
  • So many cool characters and secret easter eggs!

Anybody who grew up in the 1980's either wore (or wanted to wear) a tee with Nazar characters on them, or rented the T&C video game that featured the "Thrilla" characters for their original Nintendo Entertainment System!

For those of you who have been missing the nostalgic, laid back, party/skate/surf vibe of Nazar's artwork -- and have been buying old vintage versions on eBay in order to see it again in all of it's original & amazing neon & lightly puffed ink glory -- the WAIT IS FINALLY OVER -- And GECKO is proud to be the one that does it!

Please note, in general, the cost of our tees are not going up -- these Gecko X Collaboration tees cost more than normal to print, as we used a special, 18 station print/flash retro printing machine to make it as authentic as possible, which costs slightly more to create -- plus we want to be able to support the artists who participate in the Artist series and their families.
